後初適李守貞之子崇訓。 She was first married to Chongxun, son of Li Shouzhen.

漢乾祐中，守貞叛於河中，太祖以兵攻之，及城陷，崇訓自刃其弟妹，次將及後，後時匿於屏處，以帷箔自蔽，崇訓倉黃求後不及，遂自刎，後因獲免。 During the Han Qianyou era Li Shouzhen rebelled at Hezhong and the Emperor besieged him. When the city fell, Chongxun killed his younger siblings and was about to kill her next; she had hidden behind a screen, shielded by curtains. He searched for her in panic but could not find her in time and cut his own throat, and she escaped.

李守貞素有異志，因與子崇訓娶之，禮畢，守貞甚有喜色。 Li Shouzhen, who had long harbored rebellious ambitions, had his son Chongxun marry her; when the wedding was complete he was visibly delighted.
